The Chairman of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, recently introduced legislation to create a permanent program to increase support for veterans' family caregivers. The Family Caregiver Program Act would provide the following to family and loved ones caring for veterans at home: (1) training and certification, (2) access to VA health care and financial support; and (3) new Travel Benefits for veterans whose loved ones must travel with them.
How do you feel about this action? Let your public officials know how you feel!
